Really enjoying the game, is there any way to set launch parameters?
I would like to set launch options or change some config file to make it so when I launch the game I go straight to the title screen.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? If I could bypass the initial launcher that would be great, but it doesn't bother me. I just think it would be nice to boot the game and not have to skip through the logos.

Also, what is the "exclusive fullscreen" option?

Really liking this game.

You can delete the boot movies, or change their names. Mine are located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Thief\ThiefGame\Movies\PC\

I found those earlier but was too nervous about deleting them. I'm guessing it's just the first 5 listed with the "000_Boot" prefix, otherwise you might miss out on some other scenes.

Have you deleted/renamed them yet? I haven't tried yet because I don't know if it could cause a crash or not.

Yes, it's just the "000_Boot" files. I just ended up putting them in a zip file as a backup, then deleting them. Game loads much faster and there's no crashing.

Just as a note, I had to leave "000_Bootsequence.usm" in place or my launch sequence would just hang - mouse cursor and black screen.

I only removed the other 4 usm files (000_Boot_AMD, 000_Boot_Nixxes, 000_Boot_Unreal, and 000_BootLegal_PC)
